You understand that paying ransom for kidnapped people encourages more kidnapping correct?
I totally agree with you. The people that are doing it just to be lazy need to get off their butts and get a job. I have a question for you though, what do you suppose we do about it? This could just be me, but it seems like you were complaining about it without offering a good solution to the problem. Having people work is what needs to be done, but that isn't a course of action in and of itself if that makes sense. 1

I have given my answers to getting able bodied people off welfare many times. I liken it to a parent teaching their children to do their chores, or there will be consequences such as no car, no computer, no cell phones, no allowance, etc. etc. The same could easily be done for able bodied people on welfare who have no disability or health issues. First thing I would do to these people asking for our charity, would be to stop the easy food stamps but rather make them stand in a food bank line. In this way they could no longer sell or trade their food stamps for money to buy alcohol, cigarrettes, gambling at the casinos, etc. Gee, maybe the children would actually get food! I would also in a very limited time, such as happens with laid off working people who lose their unemployment checks after six months, stop any housing subsidies and make them stay in shelters until they found jobs. In this bleeding heart no fault culture Democrats have created for the votes, it seems harsh to actually demand something from these people who are asking tax payers to support them. Able bodied Americans used to be ashamed of taking charity from others and were very thankful for free food in a food bank line, but no longer. Many today are spoiled arrogant people who think they have a right to other's money. Do you know what would happen if we got tough with the majority of these people? They would not spend one day in a food bank line because they actually have a boyfriend living in the house with them under the radar. Or they have a family to go to who would take them in. Funny how so many families just allow Government to support their children because the Government lets it happen. Many of these people on welfare could afford their own food because of the boyfriends, etc. but would rather take government checks to fund their vices. Many of these people would not stay one night in a shelter because they could live with their parents, or friends, or other family members, etc. The bleeding heart Left understands these things go on, but they want people living off Government because they represent votes. People vote for free stuff and the Democrats have created a large enough low income voting block to get the Obama's and the Hillarys elected no matter how extremist or corrupt they are. We could save huge amounts of tax dollars with simple rules of forcing people into food bank lines where it would be much cheaper to feed them when cooking mass quantities of food, rather than individual food stamps. Getting off their butts in the morning, and standing in a food bank line would be an incentive to finding a job! As it stands now, they are living well off tax payers and have no incentive to stop. I believe the welfare roles would instantly drop sharply with these simple requirements. It would be easy to make happen but it never will as long as Democrats use these people as a tool for elections. As long as people keep electing Democrats, it will never stop and our nation will go bankrupt. 1
